1983 Wichita Eagle-Beacon Bubblegum-less Cards

It was issued in the Wichita, Kansas area newspaper and included 3 players to a strip but included football, hockey, basketball and even college and high school players and seems to have focused on what ever sport was popular at the time frame.  The 1985 issue was made up of old timers and past heroes.

This 1983 checklist was compiled by Kevin O'Conner at http://www.calripkenjr.net/ he got the microfilm from Wichita and went through and cataloged each one. 

here's an individual

and the strip

 

they are super tough to find as the Wichita Eagle-Beacon just isn't the New York Times as far as distribution.
